Charging the battery pack

When using the camera for the first time, be sure to charge the NP-FW50 “InfoLITHIUM” battery pack (supplied). The “InfoLITHIUM” battery pack can be charged even when it has not been fully depleted. It can also be used when it has not been fully charged. The charged battery pack is discharged little by little, even when you do not use it. To avoid missing an opportunity to shoot, charge it again before you shoot.

Set the power switch to OFF.

While sliding the cover open

lever, open the battery cover.

Firmly insert the battery pack

The charge lamp lights orange, and charging starts.

• Set the power switch to OFF while charging the battery. If it is set to ON, the camera cannot charge the battery.

• When the charge lamp flashes, remove and re-insert the battery pack.

Notes

• If the charge lamp on the camera flashes when the AC Adaptor is connected to the wall outlet (wall socket), this indicates that charging is temporarily stopped because the temperature is outside the recommended range. When the temperature gets back within the appropriate range, the charging resumes. We recommend

Charge lamp Lit: Charging Off: Charging finished Flashing: Charging error or charging temporarily stopped because the temperature is outside the recommended range

charging the battery pack in an ambient temperature of between 10°C to 30°C (50ºF to 86ºF).

• The charge lamp may flash quickly when the battery pack is used for the first

time, or the battery pack has not been used for a long time. In such cases, remove the battery pack and re-insert it, then charge the battery pack.

• Do not try to charge the battery pack again right after it has been charged, or when

it has not been used after being charged. Doing so will affect the performance of the battery pack.

• When charging is finished, disconnect the AC Adaptor from the wall outlet (wall

socket).

• Be sure to use only genuine Sony brand battery packs, micro USB cable (supplied)

and AC Adaptor (supplied).

Charging time

The charging time is approximately 280 min. using the AC Adaptor (supplied).

Note

• The above charging time applies when charging a fully depleted battery pack at a

temperature of 25°C (77°F). Charging may take longer depending on conditions of use and circumstances.

Charging by connecting to a computer

The battery pack can be charged by connecting the camera to a computer using a micro USB cable.

Preparing the camera

Note

• Note the following points when charging via a computer:

– If the camera is connected to a laptop computer that is not connected to a power

source, the laptop battery level decreases. Do not leave the camera connected to a computer for an extended period of time.

– Do not turn on/off or restart the computer, or wake the computer to resume from

sleep mode when a USB connection has been established between the computer

and the camera. The camera may cause a malfunction. Before turning on/off, or restarting the computer or waking the computer from sleep mode, disconnect the camera from the computer.

– We do not guarantee operation with all computers. No guarantees are made for

charging using a custom-built computer, a modified computer, or charging via a USB hub. You may not be able to operate the camera properly, depending on the types of USB devices you are using at the same time.

z Using your camera abroad — Power source

You can use your camera and AC-UB10/UB10B AC Adaptor (supplied), and
